ASTRONOMY Is making gigantic strides,
and those who believe what astronomers
tell them are filing up with a great deal
of interesting information OF doubtful
value, as. for instance, the planet Mars is
inhabited and the color of the foliage is
red. The people Of Mars, it is ascertained,
are largely engaged in digging canals lead
ing from the sea to the interior OF the
planet; that these canals are at least thirty
miles wide, and that q good many were
constructed between the years 1877 and
1882,

"IIarrer's Weekly says that had President
Arthur written for Mr.. Folger, a perfectly
irreproachabe public officer and private citizen
such letter President Cleveland wrote just
before the late election for Mr.. Fellows. it would
have been resented as a most unbecOming and
ndigniiied interference with the election by the
Executive. President Cevclands letter is, we be-
lievc, the first instance OF such an act in local
election, and the Democratic councillors who ad
vised il, and the President in yielding to their
advice, have greatly shaken the public confidence
in the Executive good sense" This is unques-
tonably true, and the letter itself was one OF the
most striking proofs that have been given OF the
Presidents anxiety to please the politicians at
any cost Of reputation

PRIZE-FIGHTING AUOAG THE PEHTTANA.
Massachusetts, is gaining queer reputation
IN these days. ! or many years II has been the
habit Of the dwcIlcr,in Boicon-,l. and Common
wcalth-avc to point the finger Of scorn at New
York as degraded and dcpIavcd town, fun Of
wick cdncsS and corruption Of all sorts. coarse
and brutal in its tastes and pleasures, and gen
orally given over to the Eyil one. But what
have Boston and the Bay State to say now to
the fact that prize fighters. when they desire
to make all their arrangements for one of their
bloody and brutal contests, go to the state Of
the Winih r0pS and the EndIcotls IN order 10
secure freedom from molcStation by the aulhori-
ticsf A Boston prize fighter is the lion of the
day in England and the dispatches from abroad
state that wherever John l.. sullivan has gone
ho has drawn larger crowds Of admIrlng fol-
lowers than any other man who ever left Amer
lea for tho Old World. They seem to look
anon Mr.. Sullivan over there as typical
representative Of Boston culture and refine
mcnt. OF course they are widely IN error
but it Is certainly time for New EnglandCrS and
above all the descendants Of the lufltlns to
hang THEN heads in shame when prize fighting,

metropolis Of the country, finds It's favorito
abode, its headquarters and its field Of opera

Carney and McAulfIc did not dare to settle
the Issue between them in any part Of this State.
They felt themselves here III too much danger
Of arrest and imprisonment. They went to

all their plans competed and every detail Was
arranged for their combat, and fight of scv-
cnIy -four brutal and disgusting rounds, fun of
bruises. blood and Disagreement was carried
on III Revere Beach, only few miles from the
Back Bay.
These two " sluggcrS' are men Of exceptional
skill, strength and endurance The result was
that they fought one Of the longest. hardest
and most revolving fights on record. 1t was
finally broken up, not by the interference Of any
shcnli's officers or any police force, but by the
rushing in Of :hc crowd Of infuratcd betting
men who feared to lose The money that they had
stakcd on McAmIlic. The famous so-caicd
international przc-ight between llccnan and
Sdycrs ended in a similar way. Every trickcry,
every device and every fraud was used by the
hackers Of Saycrs in Europe to inlurc and
cripple Iccnan, and when the Engshmcn
found that their champion was hopclcssly
beaten, they tore down the ropes. rushed in
upon the fighters and stopped the contest.
SO the prizc-fght in Massachusetts, obsti-
natcly as it was contested, was not decisive, and
the two rullians propose to meet again. As
they seem more secure in the ncighborhood OF
Boston than anywhere else in the country.

Mr.. Chamberlain in his speech at the Chamber
II Commerce dinner assumed to favor diplomacy
based on business principles. He declared That
such settlement Of the questions at issue be-
tween Great Britain and tho United States
may be effected as would be made "bctwccn

ton" Possibly this Is the kind Of settlement
which Mr. Edward Atkinson had in cOntcmpa-
ton when he laid before the Chamber Of Com

tainiy would be Il strictly mercantile method Of

men in settling business questions. StIl, we
do not apprchcnd that this summary mode OF
procedure will commend itself either to tho

Maritime Provinces by the United States is too
